Can you tell what show I’ve been watching based on this title? In my defense, I know I am not alone in my middle-aged (41-year-old) watching of this show based on 21-year-olds falling in love. It seems I’m just a Millennial with a penchant for young love!
I spend a lot of time on social media, and while there’s been a lot of The Summer I Turned Pretty, you know what else there’s been a lot of? Burberry. My feed has been filled with Burberry; it’s been the summer of a major Burberry comeback.
Burberry didn’t necessarily go anywhere, but the brand has recently struggled to find its footing. However, at the start of this year, Burberry reported that its sales decline had slowed, which was a positive turn for the brand. After this summer, I expect this will continue to shift as Burberry moves into its peak season: coat season.
Also, does this feel like deja vu? It should. Sajid just went in-depth on Burberry’s return. So, if you want more of his thoughts, I’d recommend his article!
I am here with more of the items I keep returning to. With Burberry’s return to the spotlight, I have spent more time on Burberry’s site revisiting items that give me that warm, excited feeling in my fashion-loving bones.
While some of these items still hint at summer, others are preparing us for the transition to fall (granted, it’s pretty much permanent summer in Florida, so this list will always work for me). My cart runneth over with Burberry, and I am not mad about it!
BEST OF BURBERRY

That godawful viscose crochet bag for 2k?!!
That’s not leaving the store shelves if anyone with half a brain shops at Burberry
It’s me, hi, I like the bag, it’s me!! Haha
Would you pay 2k to buy it though? It’s unlined. Everything would catch on the fabric given its knit. It’s viscose one of the cheapest materials on the market. Sorry but there’s nothing luxurious about it. The longchamp filet bag serves the same purpose and is so much more stylish and affordable
To be fair, I am not spending money on luxury items in general right now. So no, I wouldn’t.
At this point, I like a lot of what I end up liking because I like the style—I can see myself carrying/wearing it, and I think it’s fun. The idea of the actual price comes last because we all have to decide what we are open to spending money on and why.
I honestly buy food, kids’ clothes and items, tuition bills, gas for the car, and randomly treat myself to a meal out!
Same, I buy necessities. However, I love looking, but not buying because the mandated, imposed tariffs make shopping luxury items grossly beyond my means. For ex: I was recently offered a 25cm Ostrich Birkin, but at a cost of $26,900, including tax and tariffs, when I bought one 2 years prior for $17K I couldn’t justify it. Also, looking at resell value and, after doing my due diligence research, there was no way that I could possibly recoup my money. Is it possible that one day tariffs will decline or go away? Idk, but hopefully the luxury market will become more aligned with shoppers buying power or vice verse.
Right, the “tariffs” are the reason why these luxury houses are so greedy and hike up their prices every year to these ridiculous prices … give us a break.
Purse blog does a whole feature on the yearly Chanel price increase that they think is so wonderful for some reason. I get on here to relax and look for bags that I might be interested in ; only to see Hermes and Chanel that is A.) nothing new, and B.) outrageous in price.
But you keep on with blaming it on the “tariffs” .
And keep on driving with your mask on while your at it .
$1,750 for a polyester jacket? LOL. Ok gurl. Also, it’s marked as “imported,” aka made in a country with low wages and questionable working conditions. No thanks!
PS: Fire your website designer, Burberry. It’s an awful experience.
I’ve gotta say I have a Sam Edelman jacket that I got at Nordstrom Rack for $85 a couple of years ago and it looks JUST LIKE THIS ONE! I mean spot on! Great for dog walking in the chilly evening’s! How can this one be $1400+ more?!?
the $720 cotton shirt is not even organic cotton and is imported. these fashion houses can’t feed us BS anymore. customers know when the material and working conditions for their workers is crappy, the stuff tyhey are selling isn’t worth Sh**
Have you seen the handbag or even the shoes collection?
So watered -down. Nothing good there. I so miss the Christopher Bailey era.
OMG thank you so much for the shoutout Megs!!!
I always love what you share with our readers!!
The comments here about value vs price are valid. You might want to read the book “Why don’t I have anything to wear?” by Andrea Cheong.
